HullDrag/32, a new PureBasic application that I just started
Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2005 3:04 pm
Hi group,
check out http://www.zwakenberg.de/hulldrag
This is site devoted to a command line utilitiy (i.e. has no GUI) that simulates a towing tank, to virtually measure and optimize sailing yacht hull geometries.
The tool that is currently offered as a download, is written in C.
In light of the announcement of doubles for 4.0, I started to port this application to PB and to program a GUI for it. After the porting of the current HullDrag/32 capabilities, I will continue to develop it into a full blown VPP (Velocity Prediction Program). For those of you that are into yachting: the VPP will essentially be modelled after the formulae used by the IMS measurement rule, although there will be some deviations from it.
Although the application will only be made available in binary form, I will publish code snippets (i.e. individual functions) on this forum. Expect functions from my physics library, that return values for water- and air density, -viscosity, etc.
Stay tuned.
